bes@Job:1:1 @ There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name was Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, and godly, abstaining from everything evil.

bes@Job:1:2 @ And he had seven sons and three daughters.

bes@Job:1:3 @ And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great (note:)Lit. ministry(:note) household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was most noble of the men of the east.

bes@Job:1:4 @ And his sons visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

bes@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for (note:)Gr. sin(:note) a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest peradventure my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.

bes@Job:1:6 @ And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.

bes@Job:1:7 @ And the Lord said to the devil, Whence art thou come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in (note:)Gr. the earth under heaven(:note) the world.

bes@Job:1:8 @ And the Lord said to him, Hast thou diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?

bes@Job:1:9 @ Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?

bes@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and hast thou not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?

bes@Job:1:11 @ But put forth thine hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless thee to thy face.

bes@Job:1:12 @ Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into thine hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.

bes@Job:1:13 @ And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job’s sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.

bes@Job:1:14 @ And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding near them;

bes@Job:1:15 @ and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and slew the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell thee.

bes@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell thee.

bes@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and slew the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell thee.

bes@Job:1:18 @ While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,

bes@Job:1:19 @ suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and (note:)Gr. touched(:note) caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon thy children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell thee.

bes@Job:1:20 @ So Job arose, and rent his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, and worshipped,

bes@Job:1:21 @ and said, I myself came forth naked from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.

bes@Job:1:22 @ In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.

bes@Job:2:1 @ And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.

bes@Job:2:2 @ And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence comest thou? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through (note:)Gr. the earth under heaven(:note) the world, and walking about the whole earth.

bes@Job:2:3 @ And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed my servant Job, that there is none of men upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told me to destroy his substance without cause?

bes@Job:2:4 @ And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.

bes@Job:2:5 @ Nay, but put forth thine hand, and touch his bones and his (note:)Gr. plural(:note) flesh: verily he will bless thee to thy face.

bes@Job:2:6 @ And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to thee; only save his life.

bes@Job:2:7 @ So the devil went out from the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from his feet to his head.

bes@Job:2:8 @ And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.

bes@Job:2:9 @ And when much time had passed, his wife said to him, How long wilt thou hold out, saying, (note:)(2:9AA)(:note) Behold, I wait yet a little while, expecting the hope of my deliverance? (2:9BA) for, behold, thy memorial is abolished from the earth, even thy sons and daughters, the pangs and pains of my womb which I bore in vain with sorrows; (2:9CA) and thou thyself sittest down to spend the nights in the open air among the corruption of worms, (2:9CA) and I am a wanderer and a servant from place to place and house to house, waiting for the setting of the sun, that I may rest from my labours and my pangs which now beset me: (2:9DA) but say some word against the Lord, and die.

bes@Job:2:10 @ But he looked on her, and said to her, Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.

bes@Job:2:11 @ Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.

bes@Job:2:12 @ And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and rent every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon their heads,

bes@Job:2:13 @ and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.

bes@Job:3:3 @ Let the day perish in which I was born, and that night in which they said, Behold a man-child!

bes@Job:3:4 @ Let that (note:)Hebrews. and Alex. day(:note) night be darkness, and let not the Lord regard it from above, neither let light come upon it.

bes@Job:3:5 @ But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it;

bes@Job:3:8 @ But let him that curses that day curse it, even he that is ready to attack the great (note:)Or, monster; See Ge strkjv@1:21; Hebrews. Leviathan; Possibly the LXX refer to Isa strkjv@27:1(:note) whale.

bes@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of that night be darkened; let it remain dark, and not come into light; and let it not see the morning star arise:

bes@Job:3:10 @ because it shut not up the gates of my mother’s womb, for so it would have removed sorrow from my eyes.

bes@Job:3:11 @ For why died I not in the belly? and why did I not come forth from the womb and die immediately?

bes@Job:3:12 @ and why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts?

bes@Job:3:14 @ with kings and councillors of the earth, who gloried in their swords;

bes@Job:3:15 @ or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver:

bes@Job:3:16 @ or I should have been as an untimely birth proceeding from his mother’s womb, or as infants who never saw light.

bes@Job:3:17 @ There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest.

bes@Job:3:18 @ And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor’s voice.

bes@Job:3:19 @ The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord.

bes@Job:3:22 @ and would be very joyful if they should gain it?

bes@Job:3:23 @ Death is rest to such a man, for God has hedged him in.

bes@Job:3:25 @ For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me.

bes@Job:4:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,

bes@Job:4:2 @ Hast thou been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of thy words?

bes@Job:4:3 @ For whereas thou hast instructed many, and hast strengthened the hands of the weak one,

bes@Job:4:4 @ and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees.

bes@Job:4:5 @ Yet now that pain has come upon thee, and touched thee, thou art troubled.

bes@Job:4:6 @ Is not thy fear founded in folly, thy hope also, and the (note:)One MS. gives akakia, «guilelessness’(:note) mischief of thy way?

bes@Job:4:7 @ Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?

bes@Job:4:8 @ Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.

bes@Job:4:9 @ They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.

bes@Job:4:10 @ The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.

bes@Job:4:11 @ The (note:)Gr. ant-lion(:note) old lion has perished for want of food, and the lions’ whelps have forsaken one another.

bes@Job:4:12 @ But if there had been any truth in thy words, none of these evils would have befallen thee. Shall not mine ear receive excellent revelations from him?

bes@Job:4:13 @ But as when terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,

bes@Job:4:16 @ I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, saying,

bes@Job:4:17 @ What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?

bes@Job:4:18 @ Whereas he trust not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.

bes@Job:4:19 @ But as for them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.

bes@Job:4:20 @ And from the morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they cannot help themselves.

bes@Job:4:21 @ For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.

bes@Job:5:1 @ But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels.

bes@Job:5:2 @ For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray.

bes@Job:5:3 @ And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured.

bes@Job:5:4 @ Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.

bes@Job:5:5 @ For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted.

bes@Job:5:6 @ For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains:

bes@Job:5:7 @ yet man is born to labour, and even so the vulture’s young seek the high places.

bes@Job:5:8 @ Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all;

bes@Job:5:9 @ who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number:

bes@Job:5:10 @ who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth:

bes@Job:5:11 @ who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:

bes@Job:5:12 @ frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth:

bes@Job:5:13 @ who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty

bes@Job:5:14 @ In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:

bes@Job:5:15 @ and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.

bes@Job:5:16 @ And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.

bes@Job:5:17 @ But blessed is the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

bes@Job:5:18 @ for he causes a man to be in pain, and restores him again: he smites, and his hands heal.

bes@Job:5:19 @ Six time he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee.

bes@Job:5:20 @ In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the (note:)Gr. hand of the iron(:note) power of the sword.

bes@Job:5:21 @ He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils.

bes@Job:5:22 @ Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts.

bes@Job:5:23 @ For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

bes@Job:5:24 @ Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not (note:)Gr. err(:note) fail.

bes@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know that thy seed shall be abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field.

bes@Job:5:26 @ And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.

bes@Job:5:27 @ Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything wrong.

bes@Job:6:2 @ Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!

bes@Job:6:3 @ And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.

bes@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.

bes@Job:6:5 @ What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?

bes@Job:6:6 @ Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?

bes@Job:6:7 @ For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.

bes@Job:6:8 @ For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!

bes@Job:6:9 @ Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.

bes@Job:6:10 @ Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not (note:)Gr. spare(:note) shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.

bes@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

bes@Job:6:13 @ Or have I not trusted in him? but help is far from me.

bes@Job:6:14 @ Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.

bes@Job:6:15 @ My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing (note:)Or, mountain-torrent(:note) brook, or like a wave.

bes@Job:6:16 @ They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.

bes@Job:6:17 @ When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.

bes@Job:6:19 @ Behold the ways of the Thaemanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabaeans.

bes@Job:6:20 @ They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.

bes@Job:6:23 @ to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?

bes@Job:6:25 @ But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, (note:)Gr. for(:note) because I do not ask strength of you.

bes@Job:6:26 @ Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.

bes@Job:6:27 @ Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.

bes@Job:6:29 @ Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.

bes@Job:6:30 @ For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?

bes@Job:7:1 @ Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?

bes@Job:7:4 @ Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? and whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.

bes@Job:7:5 @ And my body is covered with (note:)Gr. the corruption of worms(:note) loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.

bes@Job:7:6 @ And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.

bes@Job:7:7 @ Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good.

bes@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

bes@Job:7:9 @ I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again:

bes@Job:7:10 @ and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

bes@Job:7:11 @ Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in (note:)Gr. straits, etc.(:note) anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

bes@Job:7:17 @ For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?

bes@Job:7:18 @ Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till the time of rest?

bes@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and why am I a burden to thee?

bes@Job:7:21 @ Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.

bes@Job:8:1 @ Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,

bes@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things, how long shall the breath of thy mouth be abundant in words?

bes@Job:8:3 @ Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things (note:)Gr. disturb the just thing(:note) pervert justice?

bes@Job:8:4 @ If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.

bes@Job:8:5 @ But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

bes@Job:8:6 @ If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.

bes@Job:8:7 @ Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.

bes@Job:8:8 @ For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of our fathers:

bes@Job:8:9 @ (for we are of yesterday, and know (note:)Gr. not(:note) nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:)

bes@Job:8:10 @ shall not these teach thee, and report to thee, and bring out words from their heart?

bes@Job:8:11 @ Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?

bes@Job:8:12 @ When it is yet on the root, and though it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?

bes@Job:8:13 @ Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the (note:)Hebrews. and Alex. «God’; Job knew not God as Jehovah; Comp. Ex strkjv@6:2(:note) Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

bes@Job:8:15 @ If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.

bes@Job:8:16 @ For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his (note:)Or, corruption(:note) dung-heap.

bes@Job:8:17 @ He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints.

bes@Job:8:19 @ that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.

bes@Job:8:20 @ For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.

bes@Job:8:21 @ But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.

bes@Job:8:22 @ But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.

bes@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

bes@Job:9:2 @ I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?

bes@Job:9:3 @ For if he would enter into judgement with him, (note:)Or, he(:note) God would not hearken to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand.

bes@Job:9:4 @ For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?

bes@Job:9:5 @ Who wears out the mountains, and men know it not: who overturns them in anger.

bes@Job:9:6 @ Who shakes the earth under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter.

bes@Job:9:7 @ Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars.

bes@Job:9:8 @ Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.

bes@Job:9:9 @ Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south.

bes@Job:9:11 @ If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known it.

bes@Job:9:12 @ If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What hast thou done?

bes@Job:9:13 @ For if he has turned away his anger, the (note:)Or, probably any large fish, or marine animals, whether cetaceous or not; See note, Ge strkjv@1:21(:note) whales under heaven have stooped under him.

bes@Job:9:15 @ For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will intreat his judgement.

bes@Job:9:16 @ And if I should call and he should (note:)Hebrews. and Alex. omit «not.’(:note) not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice.

bes@Job:9:17 @ Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made by bruises many without cause.

bes@Job:9:18 @ For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness.

bes@Job:9:19 @ For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgement?

bes@Job:9:22 @ Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man.

bes@Job:9:23 @ For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.

bes@Job:9:24 @ For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous man: he covers the faces of the judges of the earth: but if it be not he, who is it?

bes@Job:9:25 @ But my life is swifter than a post: my days (note:)i. e., insensibly(:note) have fled away, and they knew it not.

bes@Job:9:26 @ Or again, is there a trace of their path left by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks its prey?

bes@Job:9:32 @ For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgement.

bes@Job:9:33 @ Would that he our mediator were present, and a reprover, and one who should hear the cause between both.

bes@Job:10:1 @ Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon (note:)Alex. myself(:note) him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.

bes@Job:10:2 @ And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me?

bes@Job:10:3 @ Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.

bes@Job:10:5 @ Or is thy life human, or thy years the years of a man,

bes@Job:10:6 @ that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?

bes@Job:10:7 @ For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?

bes@Job:10:10 @ Hast thou not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?

bes@Job:10:11 @ And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.

bes@Job:10:13 @ Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; for nothing is impossible with thee.

bes@Job:10:14 @ And if I should sin, thou watchest me; and thou hast not cleared me from iniquity.

bes@Job:10:18 @ Why then didst thou bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,

bes@Job:10:19 @ and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?

bes@Job:10:20 @ Is not the (note:)Gr. life of my time(:note) time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little,

bes@Job:10:21 @ before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;

bes@Job:10:22 @ to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither can any one see the life of mortals.

bes@Job:11:1 @ Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,

bes@Job:11:2 @ He that speaks much, (note:)Gr. shall(:note) should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed is the short lived offspring of woman.

bes@Job:11:3 @ Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer thee?

bes@Job:11:5 @ But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, and open his lips to thee!

bes@Job:11:6 @ Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with thee: and then shalt thou know, that a just recompence of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.

bes@Job:11:7 @ Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? or hast thou come to the end of that which the Almighty has made?

bes@Job:11:8 @ Heaven is high; and what wilt thou do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know?

bes@Job:11:9 @ Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.

bes@Job:11:10 @ And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?

bes@Job:11:11 @ For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees (note:)Gr. improprieties(:note) wickedness, he will not overlook it.

bes@Job:11:12 @ But man vainly (note:)Gr. floats, or, swims(:note) buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman is like an ass in the desert.

bes@Job:11:13 @ For if thou hast made thine heart pure, and liftest up thine hands towards him;

bes@Job:11:14 @ if there is any iniquity in thy hands, put if far from thee, and let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation.

bes@Job:11:17 @ And thy prayer shall be as the morning star, and life shall arise to thee as from the noonday.

bes@Job:11:18 @ And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; and peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care.

bes@Job:11:19 @ For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; and many shall charge, and make supplication to thee.

bes@Job:11:20 @ But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.

bes@Job:12:2 @ So then ye alone are men, and wisdom shall die with you?

bes@Job:12:3 @ But I also have a heart as well as you.

bes@Job:12:5 @ For it had been ordained that he should fall under others (note:)Or, for(:note) at the appointed time, and that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: let not however any one trust that, being evil, he shall be held guiltless,

bes@Job:12:6 @ even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them.

bes@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee.

bes@Job:12:8 @ Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee.

bes@Job:12:9 @ Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?

bes@Job:18:19 @ He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth.

bes@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I (note:)Alex. lalw(:note) laugh at reproach; I will not speak: or I will cry out, but there is nowhere judgement.

bes@Job:19:8 @ I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness (note:)Hebrews. and Alex. on his paths(:note) before my face.

bes@Job:19:9 @ And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head.

bes@Job:19:10 @ He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree.

bes@Job:19:11 @ And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy.

bes@Job:19:13 @ My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers rather than me: and my friends have become pitiless.

bes@Job:19:14 @ My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me.

bes@Job:19:15 @ As for my (note:)Gr. neighbours of the house(:note) household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them.

bes@Job:19:16 @ I called my servant, and he hearkened not; and my mouth intreated him.

bes@Job:19:17 @ And I besought my wife, and (note:)Gr. flattering, or, fawning(:note) earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines.

bes@Job:19:18 @ But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me.

bes@Job:19:19 @ They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.

bes@Job:19:20 @ My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in my teeth.

bes@Job:19:21 @ Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.

bes@Job:19:22 @ Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord does, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

bes@Job:19:23 @ For (note:)Gr. Who would grant, etc.(:note) oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever,

bes@Job:19:24 @ with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks!

bes@Job:19:25 @ For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me,

bes@Job:19:29 @ Do ye also beware of (note:)Gr. disguise; Alex. krimativ, judgement(:note) deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their Gr. wood substance is.

bes@Job:20:4 @ Hast thou not known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth?

bes@Job:20:5 @ But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:

bes@Job:20:13 @ though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat:

bes@Job:20:16 @ And let him suck the (note:)Gr. rage, or, mind(:note) poison of serpents, and let the serpent’s tongue slay him.

bes@Job:20:17 @ Let him not see the (note:)Gr. milking(:note) milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of Gr. pastures honey and butter.

bes@Job:20:18 @ He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, for wealth of which he shall not taste: it is as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.

bes@Job:20:20 @ There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire.

bes@Job:20:21 @ There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.

bes@Job:20:22 @ But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be (note:)Or, bruised, or, wounded(:note) straitened; and all distress shall come upon him.

bes@Job:20:23 @ If by any means he would fill his belly, let God send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.

bes@Job:20:25 @ And let the arrow pierce through his body; and (note:)Alex. suffer not a man to walk in his habitations(:note) let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him.

bes@Job:21:12 @ and they rejoice at the voice of a song.

bes@Job:21:13 @ And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave.

bes@Job:21:14 @ Yet such a man says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know thy ways.

bes@Job:21:15 @ What is the Mighty One, that we should serve him? and what profit is there that we should approach him?

bes@Job:21:16 @ For their good things were in their hands, but he regards not the works of the ungodly.

bes@Job:22:23 @ And if thou shalt turn and humble thyself before the Lord, thou hast thus removed unrighteousness far from thy habitation.

bes@Job:22:24 @ Thou shalt lay up for thyself treasure in a heap on the rock; and (note:)Alex. Ophir(:note) Sophir shall be as the rock of the torrent.

bes@Job:22:25 @ So the Almighty shall be thy helper from enemies, and he shall bring thee forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.

bes@Job:23:2 @ Yea, I know that pleading is out of my reach; and his hand has been made heavy upon my groaning.

bes@Job:23:3 @ Who would then know that I might find him, and come to an end of the matter?

bes@Job:23:4 @ And I would plead my own cause, and he would fill my mouth with arguments.

bes@Job:23:5 @ And I would know the (note:)Alex. rhmata, «speeches’(:note) remedies which he would speak to me, and I would perceive what he would tell me.

bes@Job:23:6 @ Though he should come on me in his great strength, then he would not threaten me;

bes@Job:23:7 @ for truth and reproof are from him; and he would bring forth my judgement to an end.

bes@Job:23:8 @ For if I shall go first, and exist no longer, still what do I know concerning the latter end?

bes@Job:23:9 @ When he wrought on the left hand, then I observed it not: his right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see it.

bes@Job:23:10 @ For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.

bes@Job:23:12 @ neither shall I transgress; but I have hid his words in my bosom.

bes@Job:23:13 @ And if too he has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for he has both willed a thing and done it.

bes@Job:23:14 @ Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him.

bes@Job:23:15 @ Therefore let me take good heed before him: I will consider, and be afraid of him.

bes@Job:23:16 @ But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me.

bes@Job:24:1 @ But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,

bes@Job:24:2 @ while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd?

bes@Job:24:3 @ They have led away the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow’s ox for a pledge.

bes@Job:24:4 @ They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.

bes@Job:24:5 @ And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to his little ones.

bes@Job:24:6 @ They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.

bes@Job:24:7 @ They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body.

bes@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter.

bes@Job:24:9 @ They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast.

bes@Job:24:10 @ And they have wrongfully caused others to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.

bes@Job:24:11 @ They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.

bes@Job:24:12 @ Who have cast forth the poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.

bes@Job:24:13 @ Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their appointed paths?

bes@Job:24:14 @ But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:

bes@Job:24:15 @ and the eye of the adulterer has watched for the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.

bes@Job:24:16 @ In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light.

bes@Job:24:17 @ For the morning is to them all as the shadow of death, for each will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.

bes@Job:24:18 @ He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare.

bes@Job:24:19 @ Let them be withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless.

bes@Job:24:20 @ Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapour of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.

bes@Job:24:21 @ For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.

bes@Job:24:22 @ And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, a man will not feel secure (note:)This use of kata is peculiar to Job(:note) of his own life.

bes@Job:24:23 @ When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.

bes@Job:24:24 @ For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as (note:)Some read omiclh, mist(:note) mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.

bes@Job:24:25 @ But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?

bes@Job:25:1 @ Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

bes@Job:25:2 @ What (note:)In the New Testament paroimia is almost always translated proverb, but in Joh strkjv@10:6 it is rendered parable, which seems to be the sense intended here; Probably prooimion is a mistake of the transcriber(:note) beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

bes@Job:25:3 @ For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

bes@Job:25:4 @ For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

bes@Job:25:5 @ If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

bes@Job:25:6 @ But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

bes@Job:26:2 @ To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that has much strength, and he who has a strong arm?

bes@Job:26:3 @ To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?

bes@Job:26:4 @ To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?

bes@Job:26:5 @ Shall giants be born from under the water and the (note:)Gr. neighbours(:note) inhabitants thereof?

bes@Job:26:6 @ Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.

bes@Job:26:7 @ He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;

bes@Job:26:8 @ binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.

bes@Job:26:9 @ He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.

bes@Job:26:10 @ He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

bes@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.

bes@Job:26:12 @ He has calmed the sea with his might, and by his wisdom the whale has been overthrown.

bes@Job:26:13 @ And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.

bes@Job:26:14 @ Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the (note:)Gr. moisture, q. d. drop(:note) least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ it?

bes@Job:27:1 @ And Job further continued and said in his (note:)Gr. preface(:note) parable,

bes@Job:27:2 @ As God lives, who has thus judged me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;

bes@Job:27:3 @ verily, while my breath is yet in me, and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

bes@Job:27:4 @ my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

bes@Job:27:7 @ Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.

bes@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord and be saved?

bes@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,

bes@Job:27:10 @ has he any confidence before him? or will God hear him as he calls upon him?

bes@Job:27:11 @ Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.

bes@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.

bes@Job:27:14 @ And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.

bes@Job:27:15 @ And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.

bes@Job:27:16 @ Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;

bes@Job:27:17 @ All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth.

bes@Job:27:19 @ The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.

bes@Job:27:21 @ And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.

bes@Job:27:22 @ And God shall cast trouble upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

bes@Job:28:1 @ For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined.

bes@Job:28:2 @ For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone.

bes@Job:28:3 @ He has set (note:)Possibly, «he searches out the limit of darkness,’ etc.(:note) a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone is darkness, and the shadow of death.

bes@Job:28:4 @ There is a cutting off the torrent by reason of (note:)perhaps, «drought’(:note) dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from among men.

bes@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire.

bes@Job:28:6 @ Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and her dust supplies man with gold.

bes@Job:28:7 @ There is a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it:

bes@Job:28:8 @ neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it.

bes@Job:28:9 @ He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp rock, and turned up mountains by the roots:

bes@Job:28:10 @ and he has (note:)Or, caused to break forth(:note) interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and Alex. his eye mine eye has seen every precious thing.

bes@Job:28:11 @ And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light.

bes@Job:28:12 @ But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge?

bes@Job:28:13 @ A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered among men.

bes@Job:28:14 @ The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me.

bes@Job:28:15 @ One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.

bes@Job:28:16 @ Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire.

bes@Job:28:17 @ Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange.

bes@Job:28:18 @ Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do thou esteem wisdom above the most precious things.

bes@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold.

bes@Job:28:20 @ Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding?

bes@Job:28:21 @ It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.

bes@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it.

bes@Job:28:23 @ God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it.

bes@Job:28:24 @ For he surveys the whole earth under heaven, knowing the things in the earth:

bes@Job:28:25 @ all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water.

bes@Job:28:26 @ When he made them, thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the (note:)Some read fwnhv(:note) thunder.

bes@Job:28:27 @ Then he saw it, and declared it: he prepared it and traced it out.

bes@Job:28:28 @ And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom: and to abstain from evil is understanding.

bes@Job:29:2 @ Oh that I were as in months past, wherein God preserved me!

bes@Job:29:3 @ As when his lamp shone over my head; when by his light I walked through darkness.

bes@Job:29:4 @ As when I steadfastly (note:)Gr. pressed heavily on(:note) pursued my ways, when God took care of my house.

bes@Job:29:5 @ When I was very (note:)Gr. woody(:note) fruitful, and my children were about me;

bes@Job:29:6 @ when my ways were moistened with butter, and the mountains (note:)Gr. poured forth(:note) flowed for me with milk.

bes@Job:29:7 @ When I went forth early in the city, and the seat was placed for me in the streets.

bes@Job:29:8 @ The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and all the old men stood up.

bes@Job:29:9 @ And the great men ceased speaking, and laid their finger on their mouth.

bes@Job:29:10 @ And they that heard me blessed me, and their tongue clave to their throat.

bes@Job:29:11 @ For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw me, and turned aside.

bes@Job:29:12 @ For I saved the poor out of the hand of the oppressor, and helped the fatherless who had no helper.

bes@Job:29:13 @ Let the blessing of the perishing one come upon me; yea, the mouth of the widow has blessed me.

bes@Job:29:14 @ Also I put on righteousness, and clothed myself with judgement like a mantle.

bes@Job:29:15 @ I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame.

bes@Job:29:16 @ I was the father of the helpless; and I searched out the cause which I knew not.

bes@Job:29:17 @ And I broke the jaw-teeth of the unrighteous; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth.

bes@Job:29:18 @ And I said, My age shall continue as the stem of a palm-tree; I shall live a long while.

bes@Job:29:19 @ My root was spread out by the water, and the dew would lodge on my crop.

bes@Job:29:21 @ Men heard me, and gave heed, and they were silent at my counsel.

bes@Job:29:22 @ At my word they spoke not again, and they were very glad whenever I spoke to them.

bes@Job:29:23 @ As the thirsty earth expecting the rain, so they waited for my speech.

bes@Job:29:24 @ Were I to laugh on them, they would not believe it; and the light of my face has not failed.

bes@Job:29:25 @ I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the midst of warriors, as one comforting mourners.

bes@Job:30:1 @ But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn, now they reprove me in their turn, whose fathers I set at nought; whom I did not deem worthy to be with my shepherd dogs.

bes@Job:30:2 @ Yea, why had I the strength of their hands? for them the full term of life was lost.

bes@Job:30:3 @ One is childless in want and famine, such as they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought.

bes@Job:30:4 @ Who compass the salt places on the sounding shore, who had salt herbs for their food, and were dishonorable and of no repute, in want of every good thing; who also ate roots of trees by reason of great hunger.

bes@Job:30:6 @ whose houses were the caves of the rocks, who lived under the wild shrubs.

bes@Job:30:7 @ They will cry out among the rustling bushes.

bes@Job:30:8 @ They are sons of fools and vile men, whose name and glory are quenched from off the earth.

bes@Job:30:9 @ But now I am their music, and they have me for a by-word.

bes@Job:30:10 @ And they stood aloof and abhorred me, and spared not to spit in my face.

bes@Job:30:11 @ For he has opened his quiver and afflicted me: they also have cast off the restraint of my presence.

bes@Job:30:12 @ They have risen up against me on the right hand of their offspring; they have stretched out their foot, and directed against me the ways of their destruction.

bes@Job:30:13 @ My paths are ruined; for they have stripped off my raiment: he has shot at me with his weapons.

bes@Job:30:14 @ And he has pleaded against me as he will: I am overwhelmed with pains.

bes@Job:30:15 @ My pains return upon me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my safety as a cloud.

bes@Job:30:18 @ With great force my disease has taken hold of my garment: it has compassed me as the collar of my coat.

bes@Job:30:19 @ And thou hast counted me as clay; my portion in dust and ashes.

bes@Job:30:20 @ And I have cried to thee, but thou hearest me not: but they stood still, and observed me.

bes@Job:30:21 @ They attacked me also without mercy: thou hast scourged me with a strong hand.

bes@Job:30:23 @ For I know that death will destroy me: for the earth is the house appointed for every mortal.

bes@Job:30:24 @ Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself, or at least ask another, and he should do this for me.

bes@Job:30:25 @ Yet I wept over every helpless man; I groaned when I saw a man in distress.

bes@Job:30:26 @ But I, when I waited for good things, behold, days of evils came the more upon me.

bes@Job:30:27 @ My belly boiled, and would not cease: the days of poverty prevented me.

bes@Job:30:28 @ I went mourning without restraint: and I have stood and cried out in the assembly.

bes@Job:30:29 @ I am become a brother of (note:)Gr. sirens(:note) monsters, and a companion of ostriches.

bes@Job:30:30 @ And my skin has been greatly blackened, and my bones (note:)Alex. +sunefruth(:note) are burned with heat.

bes@Job:31:2 @ Now what portion has God given from above? and is there an inheritance given of the Mighty One from the highest?

bes@Job:31:3 @ Alas! destruction to the unrighteous, and rejection to them that do iniquity.

bes@Job:31:4 @ Will he not see my way, and number all my steps?

bes@Job:31:6 @ (for I am weighed in a just balance, and the Lord knows my innocence:)

bes@Job:31:7 @ if my foot has turned aside out of the way, or if mine heart has followed mine eye, and if too I have touched gifts with my hands;

bes@Job:31:8 @ then let me sow, and let others eat; and let me be uprooted on the earth.

bes@Job:31:9 @ If my heart has gone forth after another man’s wife, and if I laid wait at her doors;

bes@Job:31:10 @ then let my wife also please another, and let my children be brought low.

bes@Job:31:11 @ For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, in the case of defiling another man’s wife.

bes@Job:31:13 @ And if too I despised the judgement of my servant or my handmaid, when they pleaded with me;

bes@Job:31:14 @ what then shall I do if the Lord should try me? and if also he should at all visit me, can I make an answer?

bes@Job:31:15 @ Were not they too formed as I also was formed in the womb? yea, we were formed in the same womb.

bes@Job:31:16 @ But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not (note:)Gr. wear out(:note) cause the eye of the widow to fail.

bes@Job:31:17 @ And if too I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart of it to the orphan;

bes@Job:31:18 @ (for I nourished them as a father from my youth and guided them from my mother’s womb.)

bes@Job:31:19 @ And if too I overlooked the naked as he was perishing, and did not clothe him;

bes@Job:31:20 @ and if the poor did not bless me, and their shoulders were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;

bes@Job:31:22 @ let them my shoulder start from the blade-bone, and my arm be crushed off from the elbow.

bes@Job:31:23 @ For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I cannot bear up by reason of his (note:)See Hebrew(:note) burden.

bes@Job:31:24 @ If I made gold my treasure, and if too I trusted the precious stone;

bes@Job:31:25 @ and if too I rejoiced when my wealth was abundant, and if too I laid my hand on innumerable treasures:

bes@Job:31:26 @ (do we not see the shining sun eclipsed, and the moon waning? for they have not power to continue:)

bes@Job:31:27 @ and if my heart was secretly deceived, and if I have laid my hand upon my mouth and kissed it:

bes@Job:31:28 @ let this also then be reckoned to me as the greatest iniquity: for I should have lied against the Lord Most High.

bes@Job:31:29 @ And if too I was glad at the fall of mine enemies, and mine heart said, Aha!

bes@Job:31:30 @ let then mine ear hear my curse, and let me be a byword among my people in my affliction.

bes@Job:31:31 @ And if too my handmaids have often said, Oh that we might be satisfied with his flesh; (whereas I was very kind:

bes@Job:31:32 @ for the stranger did not lodge without, and my door was opened to every one that came:)

bes@Job:31:34 @ (for I did not stand in awe of a great multitude, so as not to declare boldly before them:) and if too I permitted a poor man to go out of my door with an empty bosom:

bes@Job:31:38 @ If at any time the land groaned against me, and if its furrows mourned together;

bes@Job:31:39 @ and if I ate its strength alone without price, and if I too grieved the heart of the owner of the soil, by taking aught from him:

bes@Job:31:40 @ then let the nettle come up to me instead of wheat, and a bramble instead of barley. And Job ceased speaking.

bes@Job:32:1 @ And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.

bes@Job:32:2 @ Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

bes@Job:32:3 @ And he was also very angry with his three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.

bes@Job:32:4 @ But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.

bes@Job:32:5 @ And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.

bes@Job:32:6 @ And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.

bes@Job:32:8 @ but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.

bes@Job:32:9 @ The long-lived are not wise as such; neither do the aged know judgement.

bes@Job:32:10 @ Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.

bes@Job:32:11 @ Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried the matter with words:

bes@Job:32:12 @ and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,

bes@Job:32:13 @ lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.

bes@Job:32:15 @ They were afraid, they answered no longer; they (note:)Gr. wore out speeches from among them(:note) gave up their speaking.

bes@Job:32:16 @ I waited, (for I had not spoken,) because they stood still, they answered not.

bes@Job:32:18 @ for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.

bes@Job:32:22 @ For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.

bes@Job:33:1 @ Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech.

bes@Job:33:3 @ My heart shall be found pure by my words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.

bes@Job:33:4 @ The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.

bes@Job:33:5 @ If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I will stand against thee.

bes@Job:33:6 @ Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same substance.

bes@Job:33:7 @ My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

bes@Job:33:8 @ But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words;) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned;

bes@Job:33:11 @ And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.

bes@Job:33:12 @ For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.

bes@Job:33:13 @ But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?

bes@Job:34:11 @ Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man’s path he will find him.

bes@Job:34:12 @ And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth (note:)disturb(:note) wrest judgement?

bes@Job:34:14 @ For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;

bes@Job:34:26 @ And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.

bes@Job:34:27 @ Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,

bes@Job:34:28 @ so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.

bes@Job:34:29 @ And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man also:

bes@Job:34:30 @ causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.

bes@Job:34:31 @ For there is one that says to the Mighty One, I have received blessings; I will not take a pledge:

bes@Job:34:32 @ I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do so any more.

bes@Job:34:33 @ Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put it far from thee? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou.

bes@Job:34:34 @ Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.

bes@Job:34:36 @ Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:

bes@Job:34:37 @ that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if we speak many words before the Lord.

bes@Job:35:9 @ They that are (note:)That is, by false accusation(:note) oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.

bes@Job:35:10 @ But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;

bes@Job:35:14 @ He (note:)Gr. is the beholder of(:note) beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is possible even now.

bes@Job:35:15 @ For (note:)i. e., God(:note) he is not now regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.

bes@Job:35:16 @ Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he (note:)Gr. makes heavy(:note) multiplies words.

bes@Job:36:1 @ And Elius further continued, and said,

bes@Job:36:5 @ But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of (note:)Gr. heart(:note) wisdom,

bes@Job:36:6 @ he will not by any means (note:)Gr. quicken, or, bring to life(:note) save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgement of the poor.

bes@Job:36:7 @ He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but they shall be with kings on the throne: and he will (note:)Gr. seat(:note) establish them in Gr. for victory triumph, and they shall be exalted.

bes@Job:36:8 @ But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.

bes@Job:36:9 @ And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, (note:)Alex. whenever they act(:note) for such will act with violence.

bes@Job:36:10 @ But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.

bes@Job:36:11 @ If they should hear and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.

bes@Job:36:12 @ But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.

bes@Job:36:13 @ And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath against themselves; they will not cry, because he has bound them.

bes@Job:36:14 @ Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers of death.

bes@Job:36:15 @ Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgement of the meek.

bes@Job:36:16 @ And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:

bes@Job:36:17 @ there is a deep gulf and a (note:)Gr. pouring down(:note) rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;

bes@Job:36:18 @ but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.

bes@Job:36:19 @ Let not thy mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.

bes@Job:36:20 @ And draw not forth all the mighty men by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.

bes@Job:36:21 @ But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou has made choice because of poverty.

bes@Job:36:22 @ Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?

bes@Job:38:9 @ And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.

bes@Job:38:11 @ And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee.

bes@Job:38:12 @ Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and did the morning star then first see his appointed place;

bes@Job:39:12 @ And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring it in to thy threshing-floor?

bes@Job:39:14 @ for the ostrich will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust,

bes@Job:40:1 @ And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying,

bes@Job:40:2 @ Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

bes@Job:40:3 @ Do not set aside my judgement: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?

bes@Job:40:17 @ And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the (note:)Alex. agnou, willow(:note) field.

bes@Job:40:18 @ If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.

bes@Job:40:20 @ But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?

bes@Job:40:22 @ Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?

bes@Job:40:25 @ And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?

bes@Job:40:26 @ And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels.

bes@Job:40:27 @ But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him once, remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.

bes@Job:41:1 @ Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said of him? - Dost thou not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?

bes@Job:41:2 @ Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole world under heaven is mine?

bes@Job:41:4 @ Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?

bes@Job:41:5 @ Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.

bes@Job:41:6 @ His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his skin as a smyrite stone.

bes@Job:41:7 @ One part cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them.

bes@Job:41:8 @ They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated.

bes@Job:41:9 @ At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star.

bes@Job:41:10 @ Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.

bes@Job:41:14 @ The flesh also of his body is joined together: if one pours violence upon him, he shall not be moved.

bes@Job:41:15 @ His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.

bes@Job:41:16 @ And when he turns, he is a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.

bes@Job:41:17 @ If spears should come against him, men will effect nothing, either with the spear or the breast-plate.

bes@Job:41:18 @ For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.

bes@Job:41:19 @ The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass.

bes@Job:41:20 @ Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.

bes@Job:41:21 @ His lair is formed of sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense quantity of clay.

bes@Job:41:22 @ He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,

bes@Job:41:23 @ and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as his range.

bes@Job:41:24 @ There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be (note:)Or, mocked(:note) sported with by my angels.

bes@Job:41:25 @ He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.

bes@Job:42:1 @ Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

bes@Job:42:2 @ I know that thou canst do all things, and nothing is impossible with thee.

bes@Job:42:3 @ For who is he that hides counsel from thee? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from thee? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

bes@Job:42:4 @ But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask thee, and do thou teach me.

bes@Job:42:5 @ I have heard the report of thee by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen thee.

bes@Job:42:6 @ Wherefore I have counted myself vile, and have (note:)Gr. melted(:note) fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

bes@Job:42:7 @ And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, Thou hast sinned, and thy two friends: for ye have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job has.

bes@Job:42:8 @ Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a (note:)Alex. karpwma(:note) burnt-offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.

bes@Job:42:9 @ So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

bes@Job:42:10 @ And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what (note:)Gr. Job(:note) he had before.

bes@Job:42:11 @ And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a (note:)Or, piece of money stamped with that figure; q. d. pecuniam(:note) lamb, and four drachms’ weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.

bes@Job:42:12 @ And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.

bes@Job:42:13 @ And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

bes@Job:42:14 @ And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea’s horn.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ As the sound of thorns under a caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ for oppression makes a wise man mad, and destroys his (note:)Gr. the heart of his nobility(:note) noble heart.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger will rest in the bosom of fools.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Say not, What has happened, that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire in wisdom concerning this.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and there is an advantage by it to them that see the sun.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ For wisdom in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will give life to him that has it.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ Behold the works of God: for who shall be able to straighten him whom God has made crooked?

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ In the day of prosperity live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, I say, God also has caused the one to agree with the other (note:)Lit. concerning speech; Hebrews. «in order that’(:note) for this reason, that man should find nothing after him.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Be not very just; neither be very wise: lest thou be confounded.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ It is well for thee to hold fast by this; also by this defile not thine hand: for (note:)Alex. he that fears God shall come forth well in all respects(:note) to them that fear God all things shall come forth well.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ Wisdom will help the wise man more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ For there is not a righteous man in the earth, who will do good, and not sin

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ Also take no heed to all the words which ungodly men shall speak; lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ For many times he shall trespass against thee, and repeatedly shall he afflict thine heart; for thus also hast thou cursed others.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ All these things have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ That which is far beyond what was, and a (note:)Comp. Hebrews. with Gr.(:note) great depth, who shall find it out?

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ I and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account of things, and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ And I find her to be, and I will pronounce to be more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, who has a band in her hands: he that is good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ Behold, this have I found, said the Preacher, seeking by one at a time to find out the account,

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ which my soul sought after, but I found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all these I have not found.

bes@Ecclesiastes:7:30 @ But, behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who knows the wise? and who knows the interpretation of a saying? A man’s wisdom will lighten his countenance; but a man of shameless countenance will be hated.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ Observe the commandment of the king, and that because of the word of the oath of God.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do whatsoever he shall please,

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgement.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ For to every thing there is time and judgement; for the knowledge of a man is great to him.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For there is no one that knows what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ So I saw all this, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; all the things wherein man has power over man to afflict him.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and that out of the holy place: and they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this also is vanity.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because there is no contradiction made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ He that has sinned has done evil from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it shall not be well with the ungodly, and he shall not prolong his days, which are as a shadow; forasmuch as he fears not before God.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous persons to whom it happens according to the doing of the ungodly; and there are ungodly men, to whom it happens according to the doing of the just: I said, This is also vanity.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ Then I praised mirth, because there is no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry: and this shall attend him in his labour all the days of his life, which God has given him under the sun.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ Whereupon I set my heart to know wisdom, and to perceive the trouble that was wrought upon the earth: for there is that neither by day nor night sees sleep with his eyes.

bes@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ And I beheld all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ I saw that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, though all are before their face.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that they go to the dead.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ for who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope of him: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is (note:)Gr. forgotten(:note) lost.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; yea, there is no portion for them any more for ever in all that is done under the sun.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat thy bread with mirth, and drink thy wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted thy works.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let thy garments be always white; and let not oil be wanting on thine head.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ And (note:)So the Hebrews.(:note) see life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which are given thee under the sun: for that is thy portion in thy life, and in thy labour wherein thou labourest under the sun.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatsoever thine hand shall find to do, do (note:)Gr. as thy power is(:note) with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither thou goest.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For surely man also knows not his time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This I also saw to be wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me:

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ suppose there were a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it;

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not listened to.

bes@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yea, and whenever a fool walks by the way, his heart will fail him, and all that he (note:)Gr. will think of(:note) thinks of is folly.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for soothing will put an end to great offences.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, wherein an error has proceeded from the ruler.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ The fool has been set in very high places, while rich men would sit in a low one.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and him that breaks down a hedge a serpent shall bite.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He that removes stones shall be troubled thereby; he that cleaves wood shall be endangered thereby.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the axe-head should fall off, then the man troubles his countenance, and he must put forth more strength: and in that case skill is of no advantage to a man. (note:)Alex. for tw andri ou reads tou andreiou; Wisdom is the advantage of an energetic man(:note)

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise mouth are gracious: but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labour of fools will afflict them, as that of one who knows not to go to the city.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to thee, O city, whose king is young, and thy princes eat in the morning!

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ By slothful neglect a building will be brought low: and by idleness of the hands the house will fall to pieces.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ Men prepare bread for laughter, and wine and oil that the living should rejoice: but (note:)Hebrews. doubly translated(:note) to money all things will humbly yield obedience.

bes@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in thy conscience, curse not the king; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which has wings shall report thy speech.

bes@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Send forth thy bread upon the face of the water: for thou shalt find it after many days.

bes@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth.

bes@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds be filled with rain, they pour it out upon the earth: and if a tree fall southward, or if it fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall be.

bes@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ Among whom none knows what is the way of the wind: as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman, so thou shalt not know the works of God, even all things whatsoever he shall do.
